Soaring to Excellence 2007: Library 2.0 and Beyond
Best New Technologies: Keeping Up with the Storm
Friday, October 27, 2006
11:00 AM – 1:00 PM (Central Time)
S30B Wilson Library
West Bank Area, University of Minnesota
Description: New technologies keep coming at a rapid pace, and librarians are subject to the stress of being expected to both absorb and implement them. Is there any surprise that the challenges faced in keeping up with this storm of new technology is where the talk turns when librarians gather? Our cause for optimism is that a handful of these new technologies may actually help librarians to more effectively connect with their communities and involve community members in developing resources and content.
This program will examine the challenges librarians face as we enter the world of Web 2.0. It will explore several of the newest technologies, investigate why librarians are adopting them and how they're being used, and examine sensible approaches to choosing and implementing the technology that are right for your library.
Speakers:
Steven Bell, Director of the Paul J. Gutman Library, Philadelphia University
Aaron Schmidt

By far this was the best teleconference that the College of DuPage has produced. Everyone should borrow it from MINITEX when it becomes available.
